Property Description

With a glass of wine, the gentle tumble of waves in the background, and breathtaking ocean views from the deck of your Kiawah Island vacation, let a magical moment take over.

A beachfront rental with a sweeping view of the Atlantic Ocean, this one-bedroom, one-bath villa is the perfect place to sneak away with your loved one for a romantic weekend or longer.

Outfitted with sumptuous bedding, don’t be surprised if you have the urge to linger in the bedroom late into the morning. And your private balcony opens from the bedroom, so feel free to step outside and watch the beach awake from its slumber with your first cup of coffee – or second or third cup – in hand.

The bathroom, appointed with a wide, 2-sink vanity topped with granite, awaits when you need to rinse sand from your toes or prep for a night out on the town.

Make your way into the all-stainless-steel kitchen to craft a meal you’ll both remember. Whether you’re putting the finishing touches on a favorite seafood dish or trying your hand at a new, elaborate creation, the Vista’s kitchen lets you cook in style with granite countertops, wood-planked floors, a farm sink, and an oversized bar facing the view.

Get cozy in the Vista’s living room, which is punctuated in high-tech details and designer décor such as a 55-inch Samsung Smart TV, soundbar, and custom media cabinet. Relax on the sofa for an evening in, and make sure to take advantage of the two swivel chairs, which are placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows that surrender to the amazing ocean views.

When you’re ready to venture out and create memories from this special destination, simply ride the elevator right to the beach, where you can spend the day splashing in the waves or walk hand-in-hand as the setting sun paints the sky at dusk. Beyond the beach, take your time over a long dinner at a nearby restaurant, pop in and out of the local shops, check out the Kiawah golf courses, or take a day trip to historic downtown Charleston, located just 30 minutes away by car.

Of course, all getaways must come to an end, but for a short while, The Vista at Shipwatch promises to be the ideal hidden retreat from the moment you check in to the last footprint you leave on the beach.
